Frequently asked
Quick answers to common questions
How much VRAM does Unlimited-OCR need?
Unlimited-OCR with 3.3B parameters needs approximately 2 GB at Q4_K_M quantization. Use our VRAM calculator for an exact estimate.
Is Unlimited-OCR better than other baidu models?
Unlimited-OCR has 3.3B parameters with 32,768 context - a strong choice for vision, edge.
What license is Unlimited-OCR under?
Unlimited-OCR is released under the mit license, making it suitable for most commercial and personal projects.
What hardware runs Unlimited-OCR well?
With 3.3B parameters, Unlimited-OCR requires adequate VRAM. High-end GPUs like the RTX 4090 (24GB), RTX 5090 (32GB), or Mac Studio with unified memory are good options. Check our hardware directory for specific recommendations.
What is the best quantization for Unlimited-OCR?
Q4_K_M is the recommended sweet spot - ~98% of FP16 quality at ~27% of the size. Q5_K_M (~2 GB) is an option if you have spare VRAM. Use our VRAM calculator to compare.
How long can Unlimited-OCR's context window handle?
Unlimited-OCR supports a 32,768-token context window - enough for most medium-length documents and conversations. Real-world usable context may vary by implementation.
